Experience

• Strong knowledge of UK GAAP (FRS102) and statutory reporting.
• Experience of multi‑entity group consolidations.
• Proven ability to develop and improve management reporting frameworks.
• Experience within a project‑based, engineering, construction, technical services or similar environment would be advantageous.
• Exposure to transfer pricing, intercompany accounting and tax compliance.
• Experience preparing lender or investor reporting would be beneficial.

Skills

• Advanced Excel skills and strong financial modelling capability.
• Experience using Sage and ideally Power BI.
• Strong budgeting, forecasting and cash flow modelling experience.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate financial information for non‑finance stakeholders.
• Highly organised, analytical and detail‑focused.
• Comfortable managing multiple priorities and deadlines in a fast‑paced environment.
